Squadron Leader Burdenasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that his regulations, which forbid manufacturers of certain categories to post parcels of taxed merchandise to retailers without adding the cost of postage and freight to the price of the goods on the invoice before calculating the Purchase Tax due, are unfair to retailers who are distant from their suppliers; and whether he will adjust this anomaly at the earliest possible moment.
§ Mr. JayI would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the answer given to the hon. Member for Edinburgh, South (Sir W. Darling), on 5th April last.
